About surrendering to the mechanics
“All learning, that is real learning, takes seven years.
It takes approximately seven years to change almost all of the cells in the body. We live in an [ongoing] seven-year cycle.
The moment that you begin to come to your own nature, the moment that you allow your body to live its life without resistance, you begin a deep process of de-conditioning.
Seven years later, you emerge, quite literally, as a new being: Yourself.
It's one of the great cosmic jokes that human beings don't get to live out their own lives.
It is because they don't get to live out their own lives that life seems to be such a difficult experience for them.
We know that there is a lot of rhetoric around about being yourself.
It is all fine and good for somebody to stand up and tell you to be yourself, but first you have to know who that self is.”
